Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for dewatering solid/liquid suspensions especially pulp suspensions, where the suspension is dewatered between two belts, one dewatering zone being designed as wedge zone.
  • This type of device is known, for instance, from AT 402.517.
  • S-module rolls with area pressing are used here, and subsequently also several press nips with line pressing. Due to the multiplicity of deflection and press rolls, the machine is comparatively long.
  • the aim of the invention is, therefore, to simplify the known device and to achieve a shorter and more compact design and thus to reduce costs.
  • this is achieved by the pair of rolls following the wedge zone imparting both area pressure and line pressure on the pulp web formed by the pulp suspension.
  • An advantageous design of the invention is characterized by the wedge height at the outlet end, especially over the entire web width, being adjustable in its height. This allows production of the most varied basis weights.
  • a favorable advancement of the invention is characterized by the first combined deflection and press roll of the pair of rolls being arranged below the end of the wedge zone and directly adjacent to it, with the wedge zone possibly being extended beyond the first subsequent combined deflection and press roll and the opposite part reaching into the gap between the wire belt and the roll.
  • An advantageous advancement of the invention is characterized by the wrap angle of the first combined deflection and press roll being between 10 and 90 degrees, preferably approximately 60 degrees.
  • An further advancement of the invention is characterized by the wrap angle of the second combined deflection and press roll being between 30 and 120 degrees, preferably approximately 100 degrees.
  • a favorable design of the invention is characterized by only one upper and/or lower deflection roll at the beginning of the wedge being in each case provided as stretcher roll immediately at the beginning of the wedge. This means that further rolls can be saved, which causes the system to be shortened accordingly and leads to essential cost savings.
  • a favorable advancement of the invention is characterized by the upper part of the wedge being especially automatically adjustable, for instance, elastically and by the opposite part being fixed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a dewatering device according to the state of the art
  • FIG. 2 a dewatering device as per the invention
  • FIG. 3 is a simplified, enlarged view of part of the S-module area of FIG. 2 .
  • the upper wire or filter belt 4 runs over an upper deflection roll 6 whose position can be adjusted and regulated, and subsequently over a deflection roll 7 into the wedge formed by the plates 10 and 11 .
  • the second wire or filter belt 5 runs over a pertinent deflection roll 8 and a further deflection roll 9 also into the wedge.
  • the material to be dewatered, for instance pulp is also fed into the wedge through a headbox 12 .
  • the upper part 10 of the wedge and the lower part 11 of the wedge are mechanically connected via a threaded spindle 13 and their spacing can be adjusted.
  • the belts 4 - and 5 with the interposed pulp web are deflected around S-module rolls 21 and 22 , which induces further dewatering.
  • the upper part 10 of the wedge is adjustable in its height by a pneumatic or hydraulic hose.
  • the compressed air or hydraulic fluid is fed through a connection 15 .
  • stop screws 16 are used.
  • a glide plate 17 serves to take up the axial forces.
  • a support 18 for cantilevering, i.e. for exchanging the endless wire belts, is provided.
  • a hood 19 is integrated into the upper part 10 of the wedge and a filtrate tray 20 into the lower part 11 of the wedge.
  • the upper deflection roll 6 whose position can be adjusted and regulated by a hydraulic or a pneumatic cylinder 7 ′, is the only deflection roll for the upper wire belt 4 . There is consequently no longer a lower deflection roll, whereby-a far more compact design can be achieved.
  • the two S-module rolls 21 , 22 are in this case designed as combined deflection and press rolls. Pressing the roll 22 to roll 21 is done by hydraulic cylinder 23 , giving a nip 24 with additional line force. Following this, further pairs of press rolls 25 , 26 are provided so that at the end of the dewatering device the desired dryness can be achieved.
  • the first combined deflection and press roll 21 of the roll pair is arranged below the end of the wedge zone 10 , 11 and directly adjacent to it, with the wedge plate 10 being extended beyond the combined deflection and press roll 21 and the opposite part of the wedge plate 11 reaching into the gap between wire belt 5 and roll 21 .
  • the wrap angle ⁇ of the first combined deflection and press roll 21 is approximately 60 degrees
  • the wrap angle ⁇ of the second combined deflection and press roll 22 approximately 100 degrees.
  • the invention is not limited to the examples, for instance, the arrangement of the combined deflection and press rolls could be reversed, i.e. the first roll could be arranged on the top. Other adjustment and pressing mechanisms for the deflection and press roll are also possible.
